We were alerted by Cumbria Police about a walker who had suffered an injury to his back whilst descending from Scafell Pike. However as he was still mobile and heading towards Seathwaite and out of our ‘patch’ the alert was passed over to our friends at Keswick Mountain Rescue Team to monitor and the Wasdale team was stood down.
Incident started at 19:46 and ended at 01:21 making 5.6 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved. Total rescuer hours: 6
